the spring is averted official anticipa-
ton will be deceived and military ex-
pectation disappointed. Within the
past few days it has become the
settled conviction of the dlplo-
matte circles that the Cars pacific
tendencies have been over borne by
the Pan Slavist faction and that he is
now under the contract of the war
party, the leaders of which are likely
to precipitate war by some act OF
prOvocation committed without the
Cars full consent. The return of Gen
eral Won SchweinitZ, the German am
bassador to st. Petersburg, was hoped
to be realized by a decisive turn OF the
tide peaceward. The conference be-
tween General Won Schweinitz and NJ.
Degiers, the Russian prime minister,
on Thursday last, had contrary result.
Whatever passed during the interview
has deepened the distruSt in Berlin,
and increased the irritation of the Aus
trian government towards the Gar
ministers. III. Degiers appears to have
abandoned his policy of peace
pressure upon the Car, and to
have thrown his influence on
the side of the military party; he is re-
ported as telling General Van
Schweinitz that the Gar is sincerely

declaring it to be unbearable, and that
it justified every measure Russia
might take to reinforce her troops on

| of the extreme tension of the situa-

There is no further pretenSe of con-
cedlment as to what are the Russian
aims. Bulgaria, the papers say, must

autonomy and become Russian prov

| 1t is notable feature of the articles
in the Navoe Aremga NOvaStu, and
other Russian papers that a
war with Austria would not
necessarily involve Germany. An

arm states that the Russian govern
ment has obtained the knowledge that
the terms of the treaty of alliance,
leaving Germany free, not to interfere

is contrary to the official press of
| Vienna and Pesth, which treats the
war question as a comman matter be-
tween Austria and Germany. The Ber-
lin official view cOncurs with that OF
the Austrian press and the cloSeness
of the intimacy between the war de-
partment distinctly points to concerted
plans of military action in the event
of war. The Russian government has
not ventured to make any statement,
either to the German or Austrian
ambassadors regarding the position
of the frontier. Reassuring repre-
sensations would be useless in the face
of facts. During the past week Rus
sian cavalry and light artillery have
been pushed forward to the extreme
outposts, for instance, to Melchow
few kilometers from Cracow. and to
Chlakoyo. a station on the Lemberg 4
Doubus Railroad. A careful estimate
of the post gives Russia eight
and a half army corps within
the frontier districts of War
saw, wilma and Kietf, with ~
field batteries, while the combined
Austrian and German forces are five
and one-half army corps with eighty
wo field batteries. The Russians
also have prepondernce of cavalry.
